The balancing length for a cell is $560 \; cm$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \; \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length changes by $60 \; cm$. If the internal resistance of the cell is $\frac{N}{10} \; \Omega$,where $N$ is an integer,then the value of $N$ is:

Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter because

With the help of a potentiometer,we can determine the value of the emf of a given cell. The sensitivity of the potentiometer is:
$(A)$ directly proportional to the length of the potentiometer wire
$(B)$ directly proportional to the potential gradient of the wire
$(C)$ inversely proportional to the potential gradient of the wire
$(D)$ inversely proportional to the length of the potentiometer wire
